THE CORN CROP IN WEST VIRGINIA.
The prospect is very en-.
couraging, and with no accident to
the crop, it will be fully up to, If not
above, the average. Lilcola: The
crop has been damaged by drought
Rodne Good stand, heavy stalk,
prospect fiattering for a large crop.
Upsh,T: Damaged by drought. Cay:
Materially damaged by excessively
hot weather for ten days. Marion
Injured very considerably by drought.
Calhoun !. The prospect is fine for
good crop; recent rains have made
improvement. Jackson The crop is
excellent, except in some places where
the land is thin; the drought injured
it. Mercer. The crop is above aver.
age. M0nongdlid Not so good con.
dition as when last reported; the
drought has injured the crop. Tucker ,
Too dry for corn to do we'll. Berkeley
and Morgan Damaged by dry wealth.
err. Wetzel: The crop has been in.
jured by drought in some localities.
Cd6eU Looks well and promises a
full average crop. Greenbrier i: The
drought is injuring corn badly, as the
ear is now forming and needs rain
badly. Ohio In fine condition, but
been two weeks since any rain fell,
aud the crop will need it soon, or it
will be shortened. Peasants: 1t is
too dry for corn. Putnam Late rains
have brought corn up to full aver.
age. Mineral, The drought injured
corn very much, but recent rains have
much improved the crop. fdyette.:

Of the chance success, and not the

Everything

is big word in store keeping, to keep
everything men, women and children
wear Except ladies' hats) of the finer,
medium and common grades, means
something big. If the readers will walk
down one aisle and up the other in the
Updegraff stores, a distance of four hun
bred and forty feet, looking at the piles
of goods on each side, and read the black
boards, telling what they are and the
prices at which they are sold, they will
naturally conclude that here is the place
to find everything and anything that
people wear at the lowest prices, and
that the advice given don't you buy
until you examine them is worthy Of
their time and attention.

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.


Hon. j. M. Mason, the Jefferson
county statesman and journalist, was
in town yesterday. An Latelligencer
reporter hailed him on the street and
asked him what brought him here.
CT came to Wheeling on legal bust
ness" said he, I" but have learned
more about State politics since have
been here than I knew before came.
[ can't tell you all have heard, but
there is going to be the devil to pay
before long-mark what / say. One
thing I will tell you, and that is, that
Collector John T. McGraw must go.
Charges of 'perniciouS political activi-
ty' will be in the Presidents hands in
a few days, and the honest Democrats
Of West Virginia will wait anxiously
to see if Mr.. Cleveland intends to
stand by his civil service professions,
or continue to allow himself to be
made a tool of by the monopoly ring.
If the latter, then the President and
the Democratic party may as well
give up West Virginia, for our people
will never endorse an administration
that forms such unholy alliances.n u
What doyou expect to accomplish
by McGraw's removal 2" .esr.,
"Just what the decent Democrats
CT Maryland will gain by the removal
of Higgins, if. he is bounced. The
moral effect ON our people will be
very great. 1t will prove to them
that the President is in earnest in his
professions. McGraw's political rec
ord is rotten to the core. His connec-
ton with Camden and the Standard
Oil ring is enough. think I have
succeeded in proving that he was im-
plIcated in the Camden-R Roger scandal
which has been ventilated in the press.
Some of US have made up our minds
that Johnny must go. | am sorry for
him, too, for in every way, except
politically, he is good fellow. Bad
company has killed him, He is going
to go' soon, and you may look for a
genuine sensation in this matter at an
early date. One of the effects of his
going will be that Kenna will be seri-
ously embarrassed. The Kanawha
statesman is the father of McGraw's
appointment, and what we are going
to do will paralyze him. Have L an
idea that Kenna will succeed himself?
No, sir. Mr.. Kenna will be defeated
just as Camden was. The latter won't
help him, either. Why, I am reliably
informed that the Standard Oil ex-
Senator will himself be candidate
for Kenna's seat. If this is true, you
may look to see things hum about
election times" tt "a
"How is the West Virginia Dem
crdt flourishing?" MEFF I

to have my paper sold in this town II

lot of copies in Philadelphia (; why
not here? It's the best paper to-day
in the United States. am going to
placard this town all over with it, and
let the people read my articles in the
original instead of garbled versions
stolen by the press of the country

ARRIVAL AT SARATOGA.

Wall, we descended from lie cars
and went to the boardin' place pro-
vided for us beforehand b, lie look
out of friends. Itwuz a gord place,
there haint no doubt OF thar, good
folks; good fare and clean.
Ardelia parted away from II at
the depo. She wuz goin' to rd
to a smaller boardin' house kel by
a second cousin of her fat ef's-
brothers. wife's aunt. Ii muz
her fathers request that she
should get her board there on Ac.
count ofitsbein' in the family. Helov-
ed "to see relations hang together :"
so he said, and get their boards OF
each other" But | thought then,
and | think now, that it was be-
cause they asked less for the board.
Deacon Tut is close. But howsum-
ever Ardelia went there, and my
companion and me arrove at the
abode where we wuz to abide, with
no episode only the trifin' one of
the driver bein' dretful mistook as
to the price he asked to take MS
there. g.
l thought and Josiah thought ii at
so cents wuz the outlay of expenda.
tur he required to carry us Were
we would be; it wuz but short dis
lance. But no! He said that 5 dol
lars wuz what he said, that is, if we
heard anything about a 5. But he
thought we wuz deef, and dident
hear him. He thought he spoke
plain, and said 4 dollars for the
trip. n
And on that price he sot down
immovable. They argued, and Jos.
iah Allen even went SO far as to use
language that grated on my nerve,
it WIZ so yoyalent and vergln on
the profane. But there the man
sot, right onto that price, and he
had to me the appearance of one
who wuz goin' to sot there on it all
night. And so rather than to spend
the night outdoors, in conversation
with him, he sittin' on that price
and Josiah q shakin' his fist at it,
and a jawin, at it, told Josiah that
he had better pay it. And finally
he did, with groanin's that could

Money SGsed is Money EG,1s-
OIL

Speaking of clothing and materials to
make them, for men, women and child
rem, we assert that the immense stores of
the Messrs, Updegraffs, at Hagerstown,
are not surpassed by any stores in the
State for quantity, variety, latest styles
and low prices, and when you have
money to spend for articles of wear,
don't let it slip through your hands until
you have visited this store and carefully
noted the quality, styles and prices. A
dollar saved is dollar made, and the
easiest way in this world to make dol
lar is to save it. Some people act other
wise, but if you value money don't
you do it."
